    True Forged Chicane RS.

    Just got my new wheels in and put them on. Still waiting on the center caps.

    Fronts are 18 X 9 w/ 265-35-18's and the rears are 18 X 10 w/ 295-35-18 Goodyear GS-D3's.

    Let me know what you think?

    Kevin, those are outrageous! I love 'em!


    Dishes are sweet but it can be hard to find some that don't make the wheel diameter look small. You did what I think is difficult and found a style that doesn't do that! :nice:

    The design itself is a great choice. Just the kind of wheels I'd buy if I ever had the cheddar. Looks like you nailed the backspacing right on the head too, o' course. :banana:

    It's kinda neat that they come with a cell phone holster/attachment too. That's a new trend I haven't seen yet. :rolleyes: :D

    Enjoy my friend!

    Thanks JT. :cheers:

    I know what you are saying about a deep dish making the wheel look small. Thats why I went with 18" and stayed with a polished center section. The stock wheels in chrome looked good so I figured I can't go wrong with polished.

    The phone was a friends idea. He works for AT&T and wanted to see how big the lip was compared to my Blackberry. I figured it would give some perception of the size of the lip better then the tape measure. They really deep in person.



    They run around $700-$800 ea. depending on options.

    Wheels that nice are to nice to even be driven on:)

    I would be scared to pull them out of the garage.

    Are they modeled after the FR-500 wheels?

    Those are killer Kevin. You sure know how to set-up a stang:nice:

    Thanks David. :cheers:

    They are not molded after the FR-500's. They are a custom 2 piece designed forged wheel. They are much lighter and stronger than cast wheels. (ie. like stock)
